Each year, as part of our commitment to fighting pediatric cancer, one of the core pillars of our Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation’s promise to the community, we introduce a new class of pediatric heroes. Together, with the help of Nationwide Children’s Hospital, we create memorable experiences and opportunities each season for those taking on a much more difficult battle.
